2014 Keeway RK 0.1L Petrol · FD14 HUV

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is concerning due to a trend of deteriorating maintenance standards leading into its final recorded test. The MOT conducted in December 2021 at 24,464 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure involving multiple mechanical, electrical, and safety defects. This represents a significant regression compared to the 2020 test, suggesting that basic preventative maintenance was neglected during the period when the vehicle covered its highest annual mileage increase. The vehicle exhibits an extremely low-mile profile for its twelve-year age, averaging only approximately 2,000 miles per year. However, the data shows a sharp spike in usage between September 2020 at 7,814 miles and December 2021 at 24,464 miles, where the bike covered over 16,000 miles in just fifteen months. This rapid accumulation likely accelerated the wear on rubber components and drivetrain parts, which explains the transition from minor advisories to critical failures in the most recent recorded entry. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these show recurring issues. The 2021 failure flagged a serious fluid leak in the right rear shock absorber and excessive movement in the rear swinging arm bush. Additionally, the brake system shows a history of worn levers, insufficient reserve travel, and fluctuating brake effort. The buyer should also verify the state of the steering headbearing which was noted as stiff and notchy in 2020, and ensure it has since been replaced. The drivetrain requires immediate attention as the tester recorded the drive chain and sprockets as being worn to excess in late 2021. Electrical failures, including a non-functional horn, headlamp, and faulty stop lamp, indicate a lack of attention to simple rectify faults. Given that the last MOT is now over four years old as of June 2026, the vehicle's current mechanical state is unknown and likely suffers from significant degradation due to long periods of stationary use.
